Wei Yan composed himself, stepped forward and bowed: "Wei Chen has met the Queen."
Empress Xu smiled softly when facing Ling Jingshu, but she was particularly friendly and kind to Wei Yan: "Doctor Wei, there is no need to be polite, please get back on your feet."
After Wei Yan stood up straight, Empress Xu smiled with ulterior motives and said, "Physician Wei seemed particularly surprised to see Miss Ling in Jiaofang Hall."
Wei Yan calmed down in a short moment and responded without missing a beat: "The Queen is slightly ill and has been resting on the bed these days. She even skipped greetings from the concubines in the palace. So Wei Chen did not expect that. The Queen will summon Miss Ling to see her today, and I was surprised to see Miss Ling here."
Empress Xu's eyes flashed and she smiled lightly: "I have been stuck in the bedroom all day and feel suffocated. When I heard that Miss Ling had entered the palace, I summoned her to come and talk."
After a pause, he said leisurely: "I had nothing to do just now, so I and Miss Ling chatted for a while. Miss Ling talked about a rare thing. She said that she was suffering from a strange disease and could not touch it. Touch any man. If you are touched by a man, your whole body will convulse, feel uncomfortable and vomit. This sounds really strange to me, how can there be such a strange disease in this world?"
"Mr. Wei is a highly skilled and knowledgeable doctor. I just want to ask you, have you ever heard of such a strange disease?"
Sure enough, the person who came here is ill-intentioned!
Wei Yan resisted the urge to look at Ling Jingshu, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ling Jingshu would never mention this matter for no reason. Judging from Queen Xu's temperament, it is most likely that she found a reason to deliberately cause trouble. In order to protect herself, Ling Jingshu had to reveal her secrets as a shield...
The purpose of Queen Xu calling him here was by no means as simple as asking casually.
Queen Xu wanted him to confront Ling Jingshu!
Thinking of this, Wei Yan was slightly afraid.
If he hadn't thought carefully just now and just opened his mouth to deny knowing anything, wouldn't he have harmed Ling Jingshu
Wei Yan's mind flashed with lightning, and he responded without any hesitation on his face: "Replying to the Queen, Wei Chen not only knows about it, but has also seen it with his own eyes."
Ling Jingshu's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and her back was already covered in cold sweat.
Queen Xu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a light flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Have you really witnessed it with your own eyes?"
Wei Yan opened his mouth steadily and said: "Yes, more than a month ago, Princess Anya went to Princess Changping's house as a guest and accidentally fell into the water. At that time, Wei Chen rushed to Princess Changping's house and first checked Princess Anya's pulse. Later, I checked Miss Ling's pulse. Miss Ling was groggy at the time, and Wei Chen took her pulse, but to her surprise, her face turned pale and she vomited on the spot."
"Weichen noticed something was wrong and asked why. Miss Ling refused to say anything at first, but later revealed her illness. Such illnesses are common in the world. Weichen has been studying medicine for many years and has never heard of such a strange disease. I don’t know how to treat him.”
"Miss Ling also begged Wei Chen to keep her secret, so Wei Chen never mentioned this matter in front of anyone. I didn't expect the Queen to ask about it today, so Wei Chen didn't dare to hide it."
…
This statement is exactly the same as what Ling Jingshu said before.
It seems that Ling Jingshu did not lie.
Or... there's another possibility. Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan had a tacit understanding for a long time and had discussed these words before. No matter who asks, it will not be revealed.
Queen Xu's eyes wandered, passing over Wei Yan's calm handsome face, and then fell on Ling Jingshu's slightly pale and pretty face.
There was a suffocating silence in the dormitory.
After a while, Empress Xu slowly opened her mouth to break the silence: "I heard from Dr. Wei that the strange disease Miss Ling is suffering from is indeed true?"
A bitter smile escaped from the corners of Ling Jingshu's lips: "How dare a civilian girl lie about such a thing."
Wei Yan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Queen, everything Wei Chen said just now is the truth and there is nothing false."
Empress Xu felt a little unhappy, and said with a half-smile: "Mr. Wei is indeed a kind-hearted doctor, and is particularly caring and considerate to his patients. Miss Ling is suffering from a strange disease, and Dr. Wei must put more thought into curing her." yes."
The hint of sourness and jealousy in his tone made Ling Jingshu extremely shocked.
Queen Xu was the queen of the world, and her daughter, Princess Changping, was about the same age as Wei Yan. At Queen Xu's age, she was more than enough to be Wei Yan's mother, but she had the nerve to covet Wei Yan... As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, Princess Changping's bohemian behavior was completely inherited from Queen Xu.
Wei Yan has been in the palace for many years, and has dealt with Queen Xu once or twice. As if he didn't hear the implication of Queen Xu's words, he responded calmly: "Wei Chen has never seen such a disease, and he is really helpless and can't do anything. I'm afraid it's We must live up to the Queen’s hard work.”
Queen Xu pressed forward step by step: "No matter what, I have to give it a try. Well, I happen to be free today, so you can check Miss Ling's pulse in front of me!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wei Yan and Ling Jingshu changed slightly.
…
What a vicious Queen Xu!
After spending a long time talking, she still refused to completely believe it. You have to see it with your own eyes before you are willing to do it.
This kind of behavior is tantamount to humiliating Ling Jingshu in person!
Wei Yan only felt raging anger surging in his chest.
Normally, he would just be wary of Empress Xu, but now he had to worry about Ling Jingshu. This was even more infuriating than humiliating him.
She is still a teenage girl, at her most beautiful and lovely age, like a bud on a branch waiting to bloom, in need of care and compassion. Diagnosing Queen Xu's pulse in front of her, there was only one result.
How is this different from abruptly uncovering her scar
no! He must not watch Ling Jingshu being humiliated.
"Empress, please forgive me for being rude..."
"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness." An unexpected voice interrupted Wei Yan: "Then please ask Dr. Wei to diagnose my pulse again."
Wei Yan was shocked and looked at Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu also raised her eyes and looked over: "It's all thanks to Dr. Wei."
This was the first time the two of them had looked at each other since entering the Jiaofang Hall.
Those eyes, as bright and beautiful as autumn water, were still as calm and collected as ever. She seemed to know the anger in his heart, and there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Don't be impulsive!
Since Empress Xu, who was extremely suspicious, wanted to see it with her own eyes, let her watch it! Only in this way can her suspicions be relieved and the lives of the two of them truly saved.
Wei Yan felt an indescribable sourness in his heart.
He was so cowardly and useless. Not only did he fail to protect her, he actually put her in such an embarrassing situation. (To be continued)
